Aidan Callaghan has qualified for the Ironman World Championships that will take place some 9,000 miles away in October in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
Last month, Callaghan managed a top 20 finish at the Ironman UK in Bolton, where he finished in 20th place in a time of nine hours, 53 minutes and 58 seconds in his first ever attempt over the distance.
In doing so, he obtained one of the 40 qualifying slots for the 2016 edition of the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, which takes place in October.
Last year, Callaghan, a Co-ordinator with Lifford Youthreach Programme, won Triathlon Ireland’s Super Series Championship.
The 33-year-old is currently fundraising to aid his efforts to give his very best performance.
He is holding a Table Quiz in Arena 7 on Friday week, August 26th at 8pm and any support our members can give would be very much appreciated. If you cannot attend you can still contribute to his fundraising efforts and you can contact Aidan via Facebook if you are in a position to donate.
